The wanderers Heme Again.

The following named ladies and gentle.
men returned from a two weeks hunting
and fishing trip on the Cache la Poudre
in Colorado, Yesterday: Mrs. r. B
Horrie, Mrs. VIM. Myers, Mrs. Crook,
Misses Maude and Mamie Horrie, Fannie

many and varied. In the first place they
ran short of provisions, the managers OF
that department having neglected to pur.
chase a sufficient quantity Of supplies.
When charged with mismanagement the
grub committee declaIed that they had
furnished enough provisions to last a
roundup all summer.

Linn declares that he has lost fifty
pounds of flesh since his escape. He
still looks quite healthy, however, and
complacently smoked a cigar as he talked.
Beyond occasionally running his fingers
through his hair, the prisoner evinced no
nervousness.
Lee Jones, the horse thief, so Linn
said, was beyond the reach of the officers
and would never be apprehended.
Linn ascribes the causes which led to
his present predicament to the plotting of
several men and a woman who were de-
termined to convict him of a crime of
which he was guiltless.

Pleased with the Post.

Gen. Crook was favorably impressed
with Fort Mckinney, as he could not
otherwise be. The location is one of the
finest in the West for a military post,
everything-fuel, feed, water, climate
considered. He came unannounced, but
found everything in shipshape. Gen.
BriSbin took pains to explain to him
many things which have bothered the
department. Crook inquired specially as
to the movements of railroads in this sec
ton. 1t is believed that the scheme OF
centralizing troops at Mckinney, which
has been under consideration, is now to
be perfected, and we may soon have a
twelve company post at hand.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
A Colorado Farmer Loses a Valuable
Horse Yesterday.

James Wilson, a Weld county, Colo
RADIO, ranchman, met with a peculiar and
serious accident yesterday afternoon. He
was approaching the city from a southerly
direction during the progress of the shower
and was nearing the hill near the old
dump grounds south of Crow creek. He
was driving along slowly On account of
the heavy mud, when a binding flash Of
lightning struck and killed one of his
horses.
His son, Frank Wilson, was riding
about three-quarters of a mile in the rear
and at once hurried to the scene of the
accident. He found his father lying in
sensible on the ground and the live horse
struggling to free itself from the harness.
After literally applying cold water to the
head OF the elder Wilson, the boy was
oyerjoyed to see his father recover.
MIR. Wilson attached the saddle horse
to the wagon and continued to the city.
He says he was not surprised in the least
at the causalty, that misfortune has fol-
lowed him in some form or other for the
past ten years. The granger asserts that
during the period mentioned he had been
in a railroad wreck, had twenty head of
horses stolen from him. His wife and
three children have died, and it is a re-
markable season when he can realize
enough from the sale ofhis crops to pay the
interest on the mortgage which ornaments
his property. The man is either very I'M
fortunate or a chronic grumbler.

When they returned to camp it was to
proudly exhibit two strings of fish weigh
ing about twenty pounds. Half an hour
later a bare-footed granger boy approached
the party and informed the alleged expert
fisherman that lone of them two-bit
pieces had a hole in it" Needless to say
that gentleman did not escape a well mer-
tied joking about the affair.

The Labor party in Cincinnati re-
pudiated Henry Georges doctrines and
gave Socialists the cold shoulder. The
party was nearly successful in the recent
municipal election, the head of its
ticket coming within 600 votes of the
successful Republican candidate for
Mayor in a total vote of $1,000, the
Democrats falling behind. In Chicago
the party coquetted with Socialism and
was badly defeated. In Dubuque, Ia,
they elected their candidate for Mayor
and majority of the City Council.
For the result in Cincinnati there are
reasons. The Democratic party is large
ly, and always has been, a Labor par
ty," although not making the rights of
labor its watchword Wherever the
Labor party has been strong it has drawn
from the Democratic party the mass of
it's voters. In Cincinnati the Democratic
party has long been demoralized by fac
ton and the recriminations within the
Democratic household have been bitter.
1t has been ruined by the dominant fac
ton. A number of the leading Demo
Gratis announced before the election that
they would vote the United Labor ticket,
and large proportion of the rank and
file seems to- have quietly followed then
example.
In Chicago Carter Harrison, the Demo
| between acceptance and refusal of the
nomination rendered him. His admins
tration, Just drawing to a close, idled
with the anarchist monster until its bale
full strength grew and its fangs drew
blood Then it bent it's energies To the
throttling of the beast it had played with,
but it was too late to save the lives OF
nearly hundred policemen lost i'll the
Haymarket riot. With the report of the
bomb that exploded last May still filling
their inaginations with dreadful images
it was not a matter of wonder that the
citizens turned to- the Republican party
to save it from anarchy.
No doubt there will be a Labor candi-
date as well as Prohibition candidate
to confuse the political activity of 1883,
and both will be strong. But modern
life is a complex thing, and no party
with but one idea can triumph over the
two old parties whose reasons for exits
ence are that the country must have
settled policies of National administration
comprehensive in their scope. to choose
between, and trained body of citizens
from which to select its servants.

sunday in Palatka.

We have received assurances that b.
R. Teasdale, as Mayor Of this city, will
bend his utmost energies to the preserva-
ton Of order-that he will enforce the
law impartially, and that he will have
an eye single to the best interests of the
public. We believe he will do this to the
best of his ability-and we believe he has
ability of a high order. These things
being true, it only remains that We
furnish him with proper law.
The powers of the Mayor and police
are ample for the protection of our per-
sons and property, and they have full
authority to clear the sidewalks and
streets of all encumbrances, living or
dead.
But our Sunday law is said to be I'M
possible of execution because it is inn
practical in its terms. On page eleven
of the Ordinances we read THAT any
person or persons who shall keep open a
store or dispose of any goods, or wares,
or merchandise, chattels, spirituous or
other liquors, on the Sabbath day. except
| ing stores where drugs are sold exclu-
! sively. shall, ON conviction thereof, be
| fined not exceeding ten dollars, or be I'M
prisoned not more than ten days. at the
| discretion of the Mayor" This is the
law. If the Council understands this
and wishes it enforced, let it remain. If
| not, let it be amended. In either case it
| is the duty of the Mayor to enforce il
fully, fairly, impartially, and this he
will do.
If the public or the Council is unwil-
ling to see the provisions of this ordi-
nance enforced, let it be amended OF
abolished. There is no option possible
to the Mayor. He is not responsible for
the law-any discomfort engendered 10y
its due execution cannot justly be
charged to him-he does not make the
law but he is expected to execute its pro
risions in Justice to himself and in duty
to the public as long as it is among the
ordinances.

\ contemporary says the world does not
know, much less does it reward, one-half
OF its benefactOrs. 1t is Ia be hoped that
a better return than ingratitude will be
reapcd by the Stuttgart inventor-Schauz-
enbach by name-who has devised a con-
trivance for deadening the sound of pi-
amos. This cOntrivance, to which the
simple name of mute has been given,
consists of the application of fine flannel
TO the frame which is found between the
strings and hammers of an upright piano.
Herr SchauZenbach claims that 10y the use
of his apparatus, which, it is satisfactory
to read, is inexpensive-sound can be
graduated almost to inaUdibility, and yet
the quality of the tone is not lost. a trial
of the invention has recently been made
before a company of musicians at Stuff
CART and the result appears to have been a
success The piano mute having been in
vented, all that now remains to be done is
tOsecure for it as wide adoption as pos

Senator Evan introduced yesterday a
bill to prohibit the sale of liquor to the
Indians. This is too much like locking
the door after the horse has been stolen.
for there are hardly two hundred and
fifty Indians in all Florida. The race is
practically extinct and whiskey has kill
ed more than bullets or even the cruel
greed of the Indian agent,
The white man cannot be kept from
making a beast of himself with liquor,
and to enact prohibitive laws for our
widely scattered red men is close kin TO
the kind thoughtlessness which buys
fiannels for the African heather. The
Senator means well, but an army of
officials could not protect the poor Semi
noles from the deadly poison of the white
mans tirewater.
